  • Can we all collectively not pay these taxes? Much like the idea of the nationwide shutdown, I think there should be a movement to stop paying them. Knowing that each ICE agent receives $150K a year sickens me. Knowing that Trump wants to buy Greenland and give all their residents $100K (I don’t even think he’d follow thru on that promise) is crazy talk, our money constantly funds these genocides, regime changes and wars. I’m tired.

    If you have taxes taken out automatically, maybe there’s a way to change that. Personally I own a business so I don’t pay taxes until they ask for them

    FWIW I saw a post on Twitter yesterday I guess there’s an ICE subreddit and a lot of people weren’t getting paid and were also getting crazy tax rates on their checks so even the gestapo is at the mercy of the US Government the biggest racket in the world

  • nothing anyone says here is gonna be better advice than you getting off this site and connecting with your local community and seeing who would be willing to do something like that or engaging in other kinds of direct action, assuming plenty isn't already happening near whereever you are. join local organizations, know who your neighbors are, reach out to friends and family. how do you think political constituencies are built fam

    More so the advertising about how much money you can make is really a façade because you’re going to be taxed like crazy based on how their checks are structured

  • The only way to truly confront a government is through mass unrest, as seen in some developing countries. But in the U.S., people have far more to lose—jobs, homes, savings, and status. That’s why large-scale riots are unlikely to happen here

    I wonder how quickly the govt would go into panic mode, like would the money run out instantly?

    taxes are automatically deducted for like 90% of people

  • Add Tramp first going for $230 million in tax payer money because he was rightfully federal investigated. Now saying he’s owed $10 billion in tax payer money because some of his tax info leaked. Real con s*** in everyone’s face and some of these s*** heads are still caping for him to rob everyone some more.

  • Sir Real

    taxes are automatically deducted for like 90% of people

    Yeah we’re f***ed

    No because it’s all imaginary

    I’d rather do this with corporations. Like everyone in America stop paying for subway for one month until it’s fairly priced again.
